Lily Alert is in the works.
State Representative Jesse James caught wind of the effort and is taking steps to get the Lily Alert in front of the legislature.
“We needed to have a discussion on what we could do to help improve any type of report that would come across our agencies in the state of Wisconsin and how to disseminate information quicker to the area, to the region, to the state,” James said.
James says some of the criteria will differ from an Amber Alert.
“The big difference is the Amber Alert means that the child has been abducted and they have information regarding the suspect or the individual involved in abducting the child and or information regarding any type of vehicle or boat or whatever vehicle they may be in,” James said.
The Lily Alert would be for missing children under the age of 18, whose whereabouts are still unknown after police conduct a search.
